This connector allows the RSA to be connected to its own independent power source.

If this power supply is not used, the RSA will draw power from the server as long as the server is connected to a functioning power source.

Remote Supervisor Adapter connectivity
The x450 features an integrated Remote Supervisor Adapter, one of the products
in the Advanced System Management (ASM) family. It provides around-the-clock
remote access and system management of your server and supports the
following features:
±
Remote management regardless of the status of the server
±
Remote control of hardware and operating systems
±
Web-based management with standard Web browsers (no other software is
required)
±
Text-based user interface terminal access
The configuration and use of the Remote Supervisor Adapter is discussed in
Chapter 5, “Management” on page 117.

Remote Supervisor Adapter connectors
The following RSA connections need to be considered when cabling the x450
(see Figure 3-5):
±
External power supply connector. This connector allows the RSA to be
connected to its own independent power source. This external power supply
is not included with the x450 and will need to be ordered as an option (order a
ThinkPad® 56W AC Adapter with a suitable power cord for your
country/region).
If this power supply is not used, the RSA will draw power from the server as
long as the server is connected to a functioning power source.
±
9-pin serial port, which supports systems management functions through null
modem or modem connections. This port is dedicated and can only be used
for RSA purposes.
Important:
An external power supply is not officially supported in the x450.
